Meet Your Colorado Bestie

I am the energetic, color loving- adventurous spirit behind this camera! I moved to Colorado from the east coast in 2021. The mountains are my escape and my fiance Cory is my safe space. I lived in Alaska and Pennsylvania for most of my life and after the pandemic- I needed a change. I packed what could fit in my car and I moved myself and my young business without knowing a soul.

Fast forward to 2023, and God has used my gifting in ways I had only dreamed of! I not only get to create art for a living, but I also get to love people with every click on the shutter. Exploring my new home, and helping other couples and families create cherished adventurous memories is a dream.

Lonngg story short…

I lost my job during the Pandemic. In 2020 when Quarantine started I picked up a camera for the 1st time in years and started to shoot for fun. God really propelled this gifting and my passion to capture the vibrant moments of life He creates for us.

3 years later Beyondme is thriving. The name came when I was pondering what a Mediocre life meant- how I didn’t want to live a mediocre life for Him. Instead, I wanted to live a life BEYOND MEdiocre which would push me to live beyond myself- for others, selflessly, past my own comfort zones. A life Beyond ME.

Now, with each session that I shoot- I shoot with the idea that this is not my work, this is not my gifting, this is God’s way to love the people on the other side of my lens and I do everything to represent Him well. To LOVE His people well.
